Re: Making a SATA drive the boot drive

Tech-Archive recommends: Speed Up your PC by fixing your registry

Im afraid i have to disagree Rick, you do not need two drives to make SATA
work, only if you want to use RAID.

After much fuss i have managed to clone my original PATA HDD onto my SATA,
and then rebooted, removing the IDE drive.
Windows starts to successfully boot, and gets as far as the blue "Welcome"
screen, then does nothing.

Any suggestions or ideas?
